Camp Randall resident robbed on Valentine’s Day

Suspect stole laptop, other valuables

A burglar stole more than just someone’s heart during a robbery near Camp Randall on Valentine’s Day.

According to the Madison Police Department incident report, a 22-year-old resident of North Breese Terrace chased a burglar down the street Tuesday after his roommates witnessed him stealing valuables and a laptop.

After a brief pursuit, the victim stopped once the burglar made a gesture of reaching toward his waistband — indicating he may have been armed.

The suspect is described as a black man in his late teens to early 20s. He is 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, of a thin build, has round face with no facial hair. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with the hood tight around his face and with a red backpack.
